Cops: 911 dispatcher endangered kids by overdosing at home

NEW BRIGHTON, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania 911 dispatcher who allegedly overdosed on heroin at home has been suspended from her job and charged with endangering her children.

The Beaver County district attorney says 25-year-old Brittany Trainer was found passed out at her Pulaski Township home on Sept. 12. She's suspended from her county job without pay.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Trainer or her 31-year-old husband, James Trainer III, who's also charged with endangering their children in connection with the same incident. They face a preliminary hearing Oct. 21.

County prosecutors say Brittany Trainer won't face drug-related charges under a law that makes overdose victims immune from prosecution so people will report overdoses.

The county has been hard hit by drug overdoses and last week 75 alleged dealers there were rounded up by state prosecutors.
